Easiest Peasiest Couscous Ever


I swear to you, if you're looking for a freakishly quick lunch recipe, this is the one for you. It may not 'cause you to explode into a month-long orgasm, but trust me--it's tasty. And quick quick quick quick.

This recipe is for two servings.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 1/4 c. whole-wheat couscous

  • 1 c. orange juice

  • 2 T. soy sauce

  • 2 T. water

  • (you can mess around with the soy sauce/water ration if you find your couscous is too salty--I've already adjusted it once, since I originally used 4 T. soy sauce and no water--but you may find it too salty still)
  • 1-2 stalk celery, diced

  • 1/2 of a red pepper, diced

  • 4-7 baby carrots, shredded

DIRECTIONS
Toss the OJ, water, and soy sauce in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Remove from the heat, and throw the couscous in the saucepan as well. Let sit, covered, for about 5 minutes or so. Fluff. Add your vegetables. Stir. Eat. Marvel at the fact that it took maybe 10 minutes to whip this baby up. Worship Lindy Loo and send her lots of money.
